Ground Hog Day?

Some times it's nice not to be "tied in" to everything that's going on back in the states. For example, yesterday's news about what Punxsutawney Phil saw means absolutely nothing here. We also watch the weather reports with nonchalance, knowing that the most recent winter storm which is about to drop inches and inches of snow on various parts of the country, won't cause any problems for us. Maybe we sound smug, but it's such a pleasure to count on sunshine and warm weather! We've got nothing to fear until the rainy season arrives in June.

Just like that, WARMTH

Sorry that several of my posts have been so one dimensional (creature comforts) lately. I promise not to talk about being cold for months and months. Of course, that will be easy because we flew home to El Salvador yesterday! But, no promises not to talk about being hot! Just kidding.

Our rent is due on the 9^th of the month and we made the conscious decision not to pay January a month early, hoping that we would make it back to the city in time to get to the bank. It turned out to be the right decision; the bank wasn't even very busy—think I got in and out in less than 15 minutes. We also made a quick trip to the grocery store to stock up.

As always, it's great to be home. We only have today to put things back in order because our first campaign of the year starts on Saturday. Yep, back in the saddle again!
